    Bumblebee is a film that dares to ask the question: what if a robot could be a girl's friend, dog and boyfriend all at the same time?

    Transformers One: Safe to say this is the best Transformers film ever made which is saying something when the '86 movie, Bumblebee and even Rise of the Beasts exist. There is a lot to love about this film from the animation to the voice acting to the story itself.

    Thinking about the Bumblebee film. It remains wild as hell to me that they deleted Bumblebee's character arc from his own movie in favour of patching G1-themed key jingling into the film at the very last minute.

    Rewatched Rise of the Beasts tonight. Trying to combine the heart of Bumblebee with the bombast of Bay, and falling just short of both. But still a solid effort, and it's REMARKABLE how good Mirage is considering he should be the most annoying thing in the film.

    Optimus Prime's original name has been Orion Pax since G1 (I think S3?). I think this is the first known use of D-16 as Megatron's name (based on the actual catalog number for his Takara figure in '84) Bumblebee was also B-127 in his titular movie, and Elita-1 already kinda fits the format lol

An absolutely phenomenally engineered Transformer who looks great in either mode (I go back and forth on how she's displayed). She's just fantastic.

    Even within the strict context of the Bayformers films, it doesn't make sense? In the first film, he had a whole thing about not being able to save Bumblebee because doing so would risk human lives. Even when they were the aggressors in that situation, he refused.
